LS Help Needed
21 days agoHi everyone. I was diagnosed with lichen sclerosus (LS) almost two months ago, and honestly, I feel like I'm going to lose my mind. I've been using clobetasol ointment and coconut oil, but I'm still experiencing intense itching, burning, tightness, and pain around my vulva/vaginal area.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life just managing this condition. I desperately want to find a way to heal and live normally again. There has to be something that can help.
If anyone has actually gotten their LS into long-term remission or had their symptoms completely disappear—especially through natural or alternative treatments—please share your experience with me. I'm willing to hear what worked for you, how long you used it, and what you did.
I'm really struggling right now and would appreciate any genuine advice or experiences.

21 days agoI wish I had read your information before I went onto the carnivore diet. I was on it for several months for autoimmune issues. But then I crashed and ended up in the hospital. They did all sorts of tests and couldn't find anything wrong with me EXCEPT my thyroid (I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis) did a deep nosedive. I now eat more sensibly. The Autoimmune Paleo Diet and proper food combining, while leaving out the foods I am sensitive to. It is tricky, and I am not 100% well, but it is better than crashing!

21 days agoRe: Getting Borax to Ireland
21 days agoHi there, as another resource in the UK there is an aquarium shop called "blue bay aquatics". They sell borax and I've used it in my water, bathing, laundry etc. I think they'll likely ship to Ireland too.
Else, try candle making equipment online shops too - they also have it.
Massage for Sciatica
21 days agoI've had sciatica in one butt & leg for over a year, I've tried all kinds of things. Finally, I met a Chinese girl who told me she could fix me, it's her specialty, she went to medical school in Beijing to get her massage training. So, I hired her, she spent two hours working on all of me... it hurt like hell, but I never said a word to complain, I have to get rid of this misery! She was sweating. That night I could walk to the bathroom without pain... the next day I was sore from the workout, but no sciatica pains... I waited another day to be sure, by golly this hard massage works! I feel like the reason we have developed this pain is because of the way we slump when we sit, so I am constantly telling myself to sit up straight!
Re: Getting Borax to Ireland
21 days agohi, I came across your thread about borax and the biolaboratorium site from poland. they don't seem to take credit card only do paypal or direct bank payment. the bank seems suspicious. the lab then sent me loads of emails adding to my suspicion. Did you get what you ordered and were they trustworthy? many thanks. john
Re: Pumpkin Seed Oil for an Overactive Bladder
21 days agoHi Mary Lou,
You are correct, the two supplements do not have exactly the same active components. I reported on the study that used PSO extract to good effect in people with OAB, as I reported in the quote from the study :
' The results from our study suggest that pumpkin seed oil extracts from C. maxima as well as from C. pepo are effective for urinary disorders such as OAB in humans. '
EC member Shelly added her confirmation to the study results by saying PSO Extract helped her OAB also.
I don't see that anyone reported benefit from pumpkin seed oil. So I would stick to what was used in the study I reported on by using PSO Extract.

21 days agoDiosmin Might Help Lymphedema
22 days agoI never got to the point of having lymphedema, but I would add Diosmin to the mix. I used it to stop blood pooling at feet. Maybe it could help some people.
- Improves flow: It increases the number and contractions of tiny lymphatic vessels to help move trapped fluid.
- Reduces leaks: It strengthens tiny blood vessels (capillaries) to stop fluid from leaking into tissue.
- Fights swelling: It lowers inflammation in the body.

22 days agoStudies show HMB supplement helps with osteopenia in elderly. Take during evening on empty stomach because muscle gain happens during sleep. HMB is an amino acid.
I'm 71. For bone health, I take Dr Best Calcium Bone Maker. What many bone strengtheners lack is collagen. Collagen is what makes your bones resilient and flexible. A bone without collagen mixed in will shatter. K2 creates a matrix in which calcium gets interwoven into.
I fractured my wrist on a fall 3 years ago. I decided to strengthen my bones so I used the supplement for around 4 months. Last year I slipped on a piece of ice very hard and landed on my shoulder very hard. The top of my humerus was slightly fractured, but my shoulder was fine.
Both can be found on Amazon.
Re: Urgent - Chronic Entamoeba Histolytica
22 days agoHello Chelsea,
I really appreciate Art's effective remedies and references.
ParaWellnessResearch.com has various tests and remedy suggestions for this condition (E Histolytica) which includes Art's suggestions. Many practitioner's use these along with allopathic treatments. They use specific essential oils and sometimes include other remedies including minerals, immune boosters, topical packs. I took these years ago for this issue other health conditions and they worked.
E.g. Regimen:
1. Colloidal Silver 500 ppm or better is using ACS 200 ES or American Biologics or Argentin 500 (oxygenized nano silver).
2. Aroma Essential Oil Tab: oregano, tea tree, lemon, basil, palmarosa, ravintasara, kunzea
3. Herbal Formula HP: Oregon grape, wormwood, black walnut hulls, cat's claw, milk thistle, astragalus.
Take 2x/day, empty stomach, 28 days. Do not take these products together. Repeat 2 more times; rarely, there is a repeat of the regimen. Other remedies are often included depending on other health conditions - need to complete testing.
Wishing you complete healing, Sherri

22 days agoIn fact my total cholesterol was 311, LDL of 215, HDL 56. A month ago I began taking sunflower Lecithin 3 to 4 tbs (obviously too much), together with p5p (B6) and magnesium. Today results are; total cholesterol 244, LDL 120, HDL 43, but worst is that triglycerides raised from 200 6 months ago to 390 now .... I've been taking for more then a year nattokinase of 12 000FU

22 days agoRe: Ivermectin for Perioral Dermatitis
22 days agoI never write comments like this but I really need to tell other PD suffers what has been nothing short of a miracle cure for me. Ivermectin paste for horses that you can get in a pet or feed store for about $18.00. It's a parasite dewormer. There are several brands I used, one was Durvet. I slathered it topically all over my PD, which was so bad that it went from in and around my nostrils, down my laugh lines and onto the corners of my mouth. It was so red, scaly and ugly that I just wanted to hide. It also hurt and was itchy. I did this daily and it's basically completely gone now, 3 months later. It took only a week or two to see a huge improvement. I noticed that it got worse before it got better, and would go through cycles of that maybe once a month or so but steadily always continued to get better. During the day I would put a thin layer on it to go out in public and a night a thicker layer. I read several online studies about using Ivermectin externally and after a health food store employee suggested that it would help I was open to give it a try. Daily consistency is the key. I am not a Dr and this is not medical advise, but it worked so well I have to share.
Re: Urgent - Chronic Entamoeba Histolytica
22 days agoHi Lynn,
Colloidal silver nanoparticles (CSN) are detrimental to Entamoeba Hystolytica (EH), but iron is the opposite, so you wouldn't want high iron levels with EH. Copper and zinc are two metals likely to work against EH. Here is the abstract of a study testing zinc in vitro against EH :
' The present study analyzes the effects of zinc on Entamoeba histolytica activity and on its pathogenicity. Metal activity was evaluated in vitro with regard to the parasite's viability, replication, and adhesion to epithelial cells and in vivo with regard to its pathogenicity. The results obtained in vitro show that zinc at 1.0 mM concentration does not affect amebic viability; however, it does decrease amebic replication and adhesion (P < 0.001). In vivo studies performed on a model of experimental liver abscess in the hamster indicate that the intraperitoneal administration of a single dose of zinc at 48 h after the intrahepatic inoculation of amebic trophozoites significantly inhibits (P < 0.001) abscess development. The results indicate that zinc alters the functionality of the ameba in vitro as reflected by a decrease in replication and adhesion and in vivo as manifested by inhibition of amebic pathogenicity. '
You can also ask your doctor about adding zinc to your regimen.
It might be worth asking your doctor if you can use CSN and Oregano Oil as they may have synergy together due to their different mechanisms, but definitely get your doctor's approval and supervision before using any of the above. Those two are likely likely to be adjunctive to the prescribed meds. So definitely worth discussing these three with your doctor. So not all metals are a problem with EH.
Even some heavy metals may work against EH.
